The video kept cutting out and it was painful to listen to Bud Stallwarth doing the announcing. He wouldn't stop talking about the teams weren't playing any defense. After the 30th time of him talking about defense, I hit the mute button.
Great game though. Couldn't have asked for a better ending with Paul and Mario hitting 3 pointers!

Hey Nick (and LJW) - thanks for the coverage and pix (how about some video)...sorry, but one correction in the pix/captions: that's Ryan Robertson (#4) going up for a lay-up (not Nick Collison) - I know, both wore #4 and the paleskins all kind of look alike, but Collison was wearing a t-shirt under the jersey.

Here are some that I would have expected be there (we know Kirk couldn't make it because his wife is almost due with their baby). And maybe some of these guys were around (I'm basing this off the pics I saw). Can't get 'em all. Wish I was there. Looked like a really fun time.

Would have LOVED to have seen Cedric Hunter, Mark Turgeon, Greg Dreiling, Mark Randle (even though he made an appearance), Richard Scott, amd several of the former players already mentioned. Would have loved to have seen Roy make an appearance too.

I just look at these photos and grin like an idiot. It's never been so apparent to me before now how much I care about this program. Well, maybe that one time in April of 2008... but I digress. These guys are like family members to me. To someone my age, growing up in the '80s, it was really great to see Kellogg and Valentine out there. It's like meeting two new uncles or something. This event was a genius idea, and I will never forget it (or erase the game from my DVR).

Gooden had a 30th BIrthday party already planned with friends and family, Hinrich's wife was giving birth at any moment. Don't know about Vaughn. I'm guessing Walters and Turgeon are getting ready for the season. That was a good time though.

There were some older guys that didn't show up either. How far back did they go to ask people? I was there when Jo Jo White, Vernon Vanoy and Roger Bohnenstiel(sp?) were rocking the place. Wonder where they are now?

Really glad I was able to be there...would love to see more of these events in the future. I got to wondering...how many other schools could put on a game like this with so many former and current pros?
